Patsnitrovette, is right blistiens are the best, but kinda expensive.
I have always had a good run with KYB, if your looking for a economic option.
What do the rest of you think??

I bought the adjustable shocks from Mid America for my '67 so I could set them to suit me. I am very pleased. Decent ride when set to soft and you can make them as stiff as you like for track work.

I have used Monroe Sensa-Trac on my other cars and have always been pleased with it's automatic action. One of those things that works as advertised.

I have KYB gas adjustables on mine also and I'm real satisfied with the ride, I've had them on about a year now. I don't race (except to beat the rain!)

I got the Bilstein Sport shocks from VB&E and they honored their 10% discount for being a CAC member.... that was cool. Getting back to the shocks. Easy install, they work great, and yellow stands out -- peeking around the coil spring!

Ditto.

For the price I think the KYB's are very good. I've had them on two of my 78's and have liked them.

Bilsteins were original equipment on my 87 vert. I just replaced the originals showing 102000 miles with a new set of Bilsteins. The car rides like it was new again. I wouldn't use any other brand.
